Learning from home - Nursery

Topic - Things we Love!

While this year has not gone at all to plan, we have loved having you all as part of our nursery family. We wish we had been able to have all year with you all in person but

hopefully we will all see each other soon. Below are some ideas for supporting your child over the summer break.

Have a wonderful summer! Best wishes, Nic and Rebecca

Happy Holidays!

This week’s activity ideas…

Personal, Social and Emotional Development Enjoy time together as a family. It has been an unusual time but hopefully there have also been lots of lovely memories made.

To help your child with the transition back to school and to a new class/school, talk about what will happen and where/when. This might be nice to show your child. It is a CBeebies programme called Time for School https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b04fcc8w/time-for-school Listen to this Charlie and Lola starting school story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc_AeLiG7SE

Physical Development Some links to the ideas we have been sharing with you this term. Keep involving your child in lots of household activities like cooking, baking, chopping, gardening, hanging out washing - these are all good for their physical development. Encourage them to climb, run, hop, skip, ride bikes and scooters, catch and throw balls as much as possible. When walking up and down stairs, support them in using one foot on each step.

Lots of ideas here to keep you all busy http://fluencycontent2-schoolwebsite.netdna-ssl.com/FileCluster/FleetPrimaryRedesign/MainFolder/3-Parents/Home-Learning/Work-for-home---Nursery/Physical-Activity-Ideas.pdf http://fluencycontent2-schoolwebsite.netdna-ssl.com/FileCluster/FleetPrimaryRedesign/MainFolder/3-Parents/Home-Learning/Work-for-home---Nursery/Sensory-Play-Ideas.pdf

Carry on practising your cutting skills at home - remember the rhyme to help you hold the scissors correctly - ‘Fingers on the bottom and the thumb on top, open the mouth and go chop, chop, chop!’ Practise your ball skills if you can. Can you throw and catch a ball? Can you roll the ball to someone in your family? Can you kick it to them? If you

want some tips, watch Footy Pups here… https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b072vz79/footy-pups-series-1-21-throwing

Parents, this could be the right time to encourage your child to hold their pencil correctly if they need a reminder. If your child is doing lots of mark making but struggling to hold their pencil correctly, there are some tips here to help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skH32KwdirU

Dough Disco Keep those dough discos going over summer! You can easily make dough at home - https://theimaginationtree.com/best-ever-no-cook-play-dough-recipe/ Some of our favourite dough disco songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJQ2CaA7E50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-IfzeG1aC4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrBsNhwxzgc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSBO8N4ctJg Here is a playlist of familiar pop songs you might like to use for a dough disco at home https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL16OPbE3RaSgoxvrpFBj4gkyt26_aMf0V Don’t forget that you can have a dough disco with any music though. Pop on your favourite tunes and get squishing! It is so useful for developing hand strength for writing!

Health and Self Care Try some summery Cosmic Yoga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96R059yOPVI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYQJdn8gapw It is really important to stay safe in the sun. Here are some handy tips… https://www.boots.com/sun-and-holiday-inspiration/suncare-advice/sun-protection-tips

Cook some healthy food together https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/i-can-cook It is important for everyone to find time to relax and calm down each day. Listen to some relaxing music and have

some quiet time. Take some deep breaths and think about what you have enjoyed today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p062glb7/daydreams-cbeebies-wind-down Can you practise getting dressed in the morning? Try to put on your own clothes. Here is a great hand washing song as we all need to make sure we are washing our hands to stay healthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDHJW4r3elE

We should all brush our teeth in the morning and at night time for two minutes. This song is all about brushing our teeth and lasts two minutes - try brushing your teeth while you watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCio_xVlgQ0 Remember to use pea sized amount of toothpaste.

Reading Watch and listen to the nursery stories we have filmed over the past months. Enjoy reading together as much as possible over the summer. Take books with you on walks and read outside, read together over breakfast, have sneaky stories at bath time - reading isn’t just for bedtime!

If you want to listen to other stories, watch our other story videos on our Nursery page and there are lots more to watch on the CBeebies bedtime stories page https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00jdlm2/cbeebies-bedtime-stories If you would like further reading books and books for other members of the family, please go here https://www.camden.gov.uk/digital-library to sign up for the Camden library service.

Phonics

Keep practising sounds over the summer. Your child will continue to learn the sounds when they transition to Reception but it is good to keep them in the habit of listening and looking for sounds they know. Look for sounds on signs, in books, on posters and buses. Listen for sounds in stories, when you are chatting and when watching tv. http://fluencycontent2-schoolwebsite.netdna-ssl.com/FileCluster/FleetPrimaryRedesign/MainFolder/3-Parents/Home-Learning/phonics-fun--1.pdf

Writing Remember to be mark making lots at home over the summer - help with shopping lists, making cards, writing your name on any pictures you do. Writing your own name is such a fantastic thing to be able to do so keep practising!

Don’t forget to look at the nursery sounds and letter formation document that has all the sounds we have learnt so far and look in the Phonics section above for links to many useful resources.

There are lots of ideas for mark making activities on the nursery page here http://fluencycontent2-schoolwebsite.netdna-ssl.com/FileCluster/FleetPrimaryRedesign/MainFolder/3-Parents/Home-Learning/Work-for-home---Nursery/Mark-Making.pdf Find opportunities to encourage your child to write and praise their efforts to keep their enthusiasm growing.

Maths Numbers Keep counting over the summer. Count anything - steps, ice creams you eat, books you read, cuddles you give and receive! There are lots of ideas here to keep you busy http://fluencycontent2-schoolwebsite.netdna-ssl.com/FileCluster/FleetPrimaryRedesign/MainFolder/3-Parents/Home-Learning/Work-for-home---Nursery/Maths-Ideas.pdf Keep practising writing numbers. Watch the video on the nursery page to help you remember the rhymes for each of the numbers. Can you have a go and try to write the numbers along with the video? Some counting songs to join in with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D4K9oi7oBM

Shapes and Patterns Keep looking for shapes wherever you go! Listen to this song about 3D shapes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cg-Uc556-Q A 2D shape song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTeqUejf3D0 Keep looking for patterns. A pattern repeats so you can see the same thing happening over and over. You can make patterns in lots of ways. You can make a pattern of actions - jump, hop, jump, hop, jump, hop. You can make a colour pattern - red, green, yellow, red, green, yellow. You can make a pattern of anything!
